Heard Island and McDonald Islands

Reimbursed Care Access

Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI) are an uninhabited external Australian territory administered from Hobart; there is no local health system, no permanent population, and Australian Commonwealth/state drug and medicines law applies to the territory. As a practical matter there is no local reimbursement or service provision on HIMI — access and reimbursement follow Australian law and programs (TGA, state/territory instruments, PBS) administered on the mainland.
